Etymology
The term 'hocking' is believed to have originated from the Middle English word 'hok', which means to peddle or sell. Its roots can be traced back to the Old English 'hoka', implying a sense of haggling or bargaining over goods. Over time, 'hocking' developed into a more specific reference to the act of selling items, particularly in an informal or street-based environment. It gained popularity in the 19th century when traveling salespeople began to openly sell their wares in towns and markets. In modern usage, the word is often associated with vibrant street vendors and spirited salesmanship, highlighting the cultural and historical significance of commerce in public spaces.
